NBA Apologizes to Raptors...Again

NBA apologizes again.

With one second remaining in overtime of the Chicago Bulls-Toronto Raptors game on January 16, officials called a foul on Chicago’s Joakim Noah as Toronto’s Amir Johnson gathered the ball while driving to the basket. The officials ruled the foul was on the floor but upon review at the league office, the video replay confirmed that the foul should have been called a shooting foul with Johnson receiving two free throws.

If I'm BC I'd be raising hell on behalf of the players, coach, and fans. Because I am livid as sh!t over this. Unreal that it can KEEP happening to us. To me it's the cemented proof that we are not getting the calls. I sincerely feel that if this were the Lakers, it would happen once, Kobe would make a stink on every network, he'd have a shared interview with Lance Armstrong on Oprah. Not us poor Canadian non-stars.

I don't think anything like this has happened to any team in any sport in the history of professional sports. maybe the NBA is trying to get Canadians to hate basketball so they can have a 3rd team in new York hah

They should apologize for the crazy calls and missed calls against the Nets also. It's getting hard to watch games now, know anytime we have a lead going into final half or so, calls are going to be racked up. Crazy!

Both apologies were for game-deciding calls, no? That does stink like shit. The Raptors would be in ninth place in the East if not for these two oopsi-daisies. That's not very professional. The league should have to compensate teams for demonstrably blown game-deciding calls, like more balls in the lottery or something of value.

actually this is not necessarily true. Raptors were down by 1 on each erroneous call, which doesn't mean the Raptors would have won each game if not for the call. The Raps would have received foul shots, but that doesn't mean all would have been hit.

The Raps may have won both games, or won one of two, or sent both games into over time and won or loss, or straight out lossed both.

i think the bigger blown call was that tip ball that was apparently out on us. ed touches it, noah loses a handle but clearly tries to pass to the open boozer and threw it 5 rows deep. i guess ed has a super poke that can make the ball go 50 feet.
